I shared this with my facebook friends, and though it may be considered somewhat off topic here, I wanted to share it with you because this song has a lot to do with my musical roots. This is perhaps the first song that I heard on the radio that impacted me significantly. Red Foley, to me, is the benchmark for this great old song. I was young enough that I didn't know who the guitar player was on the record, but I knew it sounded so very good. The tone and licks were unusual compared to what I was used to hearing. It was much later that I learned that Chet Atkins was that guitar player. So, you might say I discovered Red Foley before I knew who Chet was.

Beautiful...and also part of my roots in north western NC & throughout VA and what seemed like a hundred small country churches where my parents pastored. There wasn't a lot of stringed instrumental music of the guitar vintage in those Methodist churches but surely this song was used in vocals accompanied by piano often.
